Vincent Mandola Death | Obituary – Vincent “Bubba” Mandola age 77passed away from heart failure Sunday, July 19
Mandola had recently battled COVID-19 this past June, as reported by abc13.com. Mandola owned a number of restaurants over the years, including his namesake Vincent’s, plus Nino’s, Grappino di Nino and Pronto Cucinino. The Facebook post from the restaurant group expressed a desire for prayers and privacy.
Mandola was part of a large Sicilian and Italian family of restaurateurs including brothers Damian Mandola and Tony Mandola, cousin Frank Mandola and nephew Johnny Carrabba. Tony’s wife Phyllis is the daughter of Houston’s Tex-Mex queen, Ninfa ” Mama” Laurenzo.
Mandola’s Deli posted on Facebook about the passing of Vincent Mandola with a plea to the community to undertake the recommended safety precautions due to the coronavirus pandemic. It stated ” Please please please be vigilant out there. Remember we are ALL tired of this temporary way of life. Follow the guidelines anyway.”
Vincent and wife Mary opened the family’s flagship restaurant, Nino’s in 1977. Eventually, they added two more concepts, Vincent’s and Grappino di Nino to the same property on West Dallas and two locations of Pronto Cucinino on Montrose and West Holcombe. Mandola and wife Mary have two daughters, Vinceanne Mandola-Green and Mary Dana Corbett, who are equal partners in the family business.
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Mandola’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
